Configure log settings

Specify logging levels for the Subversion Edge console and the Apache Subversion server, how long you want to keep the logs, the maximum size for the logs you want to retain, and whether you want to turn off the Apache access or Subversion logs if you are not interested in their content and do not want them using disk space.

You need the ROLE_ADMIN or ROLE_ADMIN_SYSTEM role to be able to configure log settings.
  1. Select Administration in the main navigation bar and click Logging in the left panel.
    Server log settings
  2. Enter the number of days you want the logs retained. A value of "0" indicates that you don't want the logs deleted.
  3. Set the log level for the Subversion Edge console application.

    This determines the verbosity of the messages recorded in the log files. In decreasing order of significance, the four available levels are ERROR, WARN, INFO and DEBUG. When you select a level, all messages for levels of higher significance are recorded as well.

  4. Set the error log level for the Apache Subversion server.
  5. By default, Apache access logging is turned on. To turn it off, de-select Access Log.
  6. Select Minimize Logging to reduce the logging noise that Subversion 1.8 clients can generate. Subversion 1.8, which Subversion Edge 4.0.0 supports, uses Serf. Because of the number of HTTP GET requests that Serf clients issue, you can expect a growth in server logs. See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#neon-deleted for more information.
  7. By default, Subversion command logging is turned on. To turn it off, de-select Subversion Log.
  8. Specify the maximum size (in MB) for the logs you want to retain. A value of "0" indicates that there is no limit.
  9. Click Save.
